## Resource

Marcelo Mayer’s Red Sox season’s gone sideways—batting struggles, shaky defense, and now a ten-day IL stint after battling through pain, sparking public doubt about his mental toughness. But here’s the twist: he played through a forearm issue for months, proving grit even if the narrative doesn’t match. The Sox rushed him up, shuffled him around, and left him to navigate a struggling lineup without veteran support. The real issue? Blaming a young player while the whole team’s flailing. Mayer needs to heal, and the Sox need to stop pointing fingers—especially at their own future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
